8 Months Old

Jackson was 8 months old yesterday and I cannot believe it! He is such a blessing and keeps us laughing!So what is he up to at 8 months old?

Charming the ladies - everywhere we go he is smiling at people, mainly women! Lord help us.

Getting into everything - he can crawl, but has not ventured too far yet. He scoots, army crawls, and crawls with one leg. He uses all his crawling variations to get where he wants to be.
He can pick-up small puffs and put them in his mouth.

There are not really any foods he won't eat other than green apples. He does not like the sour taste, he'll pucker his face up and refuse to eat any more.

He is still on his 5:30, 9:30, 1:30, 5:30, and 7:30 schedule of 7oz of milk and a fruit or veggie at 9:30, 1:30, and 5:30 feedings, but with more snacks in between like juice, Mum-Mums and Puffs. We are about to introduce proteins like cheese and meat! Oh MAN!

He loves to play on the floor as you can tell. And when we walk by the nursery at church he is always on the floor playing and having the best time while the other babies are crying. He's just perfect! Not really, but don't tell his grandmothers that.

He still loves swimming lessons and we have started to dunk his face under water. He doesn't cry when we do it, but it's not his favorite thing either.

He doesn't sleep through the night much, but all we have to do is get him out of his bed and put him in ours and he's good to go. We get sleep this way, but have created a bad habit!! Matt and I both are bad about it, but he's such a cuddle bug.
He can go from laying down to sitting up and vis versa on his own.

He dances when you sing to him - He'll move his head with the beat and move his arms and legs.

He can say da-da, but no ma-ma yet. We're working on it.

He will mimic you coughing with a fake cough of his own. It's hysterical!

He loves his Baby Einstein sign language DVD in the morning. I am not sure how we are going to let him watch it when only one of us is at home with him though. We leave him just sitting on the bed when one of us can watch him while the other person is in the shower and when only one of us are there we put him in his bouncer chair on the bed. But yesterday morning I got out of the shower to find him laying on his back with the chair on top of him. He didn't seem to mind though, he was just laying there watching TV. It scared me so much I didn't even get a picture of it.
I couldn't tell you the last time we put him in the tub. He takes showers with us! It is so much faster and I feel like he gets so much cleaner. He holds on to you for dear life, but doesn't seem to mind it.

He still only cries when he is hungry or sleepy. Except for the other night when he did this screaming thing because he could not see with his hood on.

He still loves his Jeep walker, and heads straight for the oven in it. Go figure?

Well that's about it other than being the cutest baby ever! We love you J-Man and thank God for you EVERY day!
